Just Let Me Die Here (A Serialized Novel) 4
On my way home from campus, I stop in at the grocery store to get some things for dinner. And a nice bottle of wine. Something bold, spicy, and a tad pricier than our usual twenty-dollar bottles. This grant is definitely a cause for celebration and a great start to our vacation. Other than that, I don’t know what to get. I used to be much better at planning out meals for the whole week, but recently, it’s been more of a day by day thing. I find less food goes to waste that way. There always seems to be too much left over.

Cai and Molly Davies
The bedroom was mostly white, an almost empty tiny room with a small bed with grey covers in the middle of the room and a bright white night stand on each side of it with a mirror was attached to the door. It was a stark contrast to the way Mildred dressed earning her the nickname, ‘Goth Mildred’. Her husband Cai Davies was always working and lived in his grey suit and thick eyeglasses. Cai towered over Mildred at 6’ 1” despite being in his 60’s. Mildred was only 5’ 3” and in her late 30’s. She had a slim figure, long black hair kept in pig tails, and a light bronze skin with green eyes. The fragrant of the freshly bloomed blue lilies scattered on the bed was overwhelming in the tiny room.

Just Let Me Die Here (A Serialized Novel) 2
Five o’clock in the morning is my time. I was never the biggest morning person, struggling to come alive before eight on a good day, but that changed once I had a child that kept me up all night long. Now, it seems no matter how tired I am at other times, I am always wide awake at five in the morning. So, starting just a few months ago I figured I might as well take the opportunity to get a bit of the pre-pregnancy me back. And I decided running was the best way to do that.
